Ryan Hunt joined the Delaware swimming and diving staff as the program's diving coach in 2019-20.
During the 2022-2023 season, Delaware's divers were highly successful, with Julia Servas taking the CAA 1-meter diving championship and Philip Townsend earning all-conference honors in the 3-meter. Freshman Kevin Seigfried also earned CAA Rookie Diver of the Month in November and six CAA Diver of the Week honors, and all three competed in NCAA Diving Zones. Hunt was named CAA Co-Diving Coach of the Year.
Prior to Delaware, Hunt was a member of the coaching staff at Towson and earned the CAA's Men's Diving Coach of the Year honor for the 2018-19 campaign after having coached the conference's Diver of the Year. He helped two divers reach the finals at the 2019 CAA Championships and earn a pair of medals.
Prior to Towson, Hunt spent four years at East Carolina and helped the men's team capture back-to-back American Athletic Conference titles in 2015 and 2016. He earned the 2016 AAC Men's Diving Coach of the Year award.
On the women's side, Hunt helped lead East Carolina to an 11-0 duel meet record in 2013-14 and saw multiple student-athletes qualify for the NCAA Zone Championship and earn all-conference laurels.
Before officially being named the Pirates' diving coach, Hunt was a volunteer assistant from 2008-10 while also serving as an admissions counselor at East Carolina.
Hunt earned his bachelor's degree in sport studies with a minor in business from East Carolina in 2008 and went on to receive a master's degree from ECU in exercise sports science in 2011.
As a student-athlete himself, Hunt was a two-time All-Conference USA performer and a four-time NCAA Zone B Regional Championship qualifier. He was a team captain and obtained the team's Most Outstanding Diver Aware three times.
Hunt holds the East Carolina program record for the one-meter (six dives) and 3-meter (six dives).
Hunt has also served as a summer camp counselor at Patriot League power Navy in 2014 and 2015, helping with camp operations and coaching youth divers.
